"My limbs are not golden, and I am not golden; only by the touch of Rādhikā's limbs do I appear golden — and she never touches anyone except the son of Nanda Mahārāja."
Mahāprabhu answers Rāmānanda's question: you know My līlā, tattva and rasa, and so it is to you that I have shown this form. Then He points to His golden body with a strange explanation: this colour is not My own. It comes from Rādhikā's touch — and her touch is given to the son of Nanda alone. From here follows what Gurudeva is leading to: the golden form of Gaurāṅga is the proof of who He really is. My ātmā, My mind and My body are saturated through and through with Rādhikā's ecstasy.
Let one touch alone leave its mark on you.
